Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced Malaysia's plans for a second wave of humanitarian aid to Gaza during the “Himpunan Solidariti Bersama Gaza” rally at the Axiata Arena. He revealed that discussions will soon take place with Egyptian authorities to explore alternative routes for delivering aid, particularly through the Rafah crossing.
Anwar emphasized the importance of strategy and wisdom in navigating the situation, with plans to reach out to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for further negotiations. He noted that the goal is not only to deliver aid but to send a strong message of support for the Palestinian cause.
The Prime Minister also addressed criticism of Malaysian volunteers who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla, highlighting their bravery in risking their lives to stand in solidarity with Gaza. Anwar drew parallels between Malaysia’s own independence and the Palestinian struggle, urging the world not to remain silent in the face of injustice.
The rally, attended by thousands of Malaysians, also celebrated the return of the 23 Malaysian GSF volunteers detained by Israeli forces.
